Clarification needed regarding link building

[Francis_GlobalMediaInsight]

We are working on a SEO project for a client with a bilingual site. We have already started with the link building task for the English domain. However, for the Arabic domain the URLs for the inner pages are not yet finalized and it would take around 2 months to do so. I would like to know whether we could start with link building for the main Arabic domain although the inner pages URLs are not yet finalized?

Yes absolutely.  The sooner you start the sooner you start building trust and authority points for the site even in it's current form.

Dear Alan, Thankyou very much. We have over hundreds of pages in Arabic. With your definitive feedback we will go ahead and start the linkbuilding exercise pointing to the Arabic home page of the bilingual site.
This clarifications helps us in many other projects where the whole link building excercise was kept on hold until all on page optimisation was done. From what you say, for link building if pointing is done to the main domain & if there are over 100's of pages, link building excercise can be started.

if you already have any content for the Arabic domain, it will not hurt to start building links to what you've got.  It can only help because it's a long process to get long-term link value, and starting now will give you the foundation that you can build on later.
